As men in the world, we are expected to be strong. We are expected to slay dragons, to fight for the princess, to conquer the land. There are great pressures to be successful in this, all the while never showing any weakness.
I know this sounds like a fairytale or the latest blockbuster movie, the fact is, that it is just that. It's garbage. As much as I want to be the hero of this tale and fight like a warrior there is much that I lack. This is just the truth.
In a secular world where a Christian is bombarded with temptation, sin, anger, stress and much more, we have to accept the truth...we lose. As mere mortals we lack the capability, we lack the endurance to fight on our own every day. Too often this is what we do. Life gets busy and as men we try to make the best of it. We try to do our best, treating our kids nice, trying to talk to our wives nice, trying to keep in contact with friends on a regular basis. We let life get the best of us and we get distracted.
